    Excellent introduction for beginners Yes….but also for us who maybe on our way a bit further down the line on our slow Stitching experience…..just to remind us once in awhile oh maybe there is another way to solve a concern that comes up ie the patches to save tender finger….also this a great video for me to share when another person asks “umm that looks interesting…tell me about it”….lastly the sentiment in #3….. long live the health benefits of of a simple stitch for the heart and mind….

    When I saw the bunny patch I thought that was so cute. I'm so glad that you have a video series about the jean jacket which is lovely. I'm trying to think of some patches I could create for my husband's clothes 😊

    Thank you. Using the right needle always confused me. I like the long needle for French knots. I would suggest a small stitching book too. Would flannel be a good backing to use?

    • @peaceofpi-studio
      @peaceofpi-studio  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Flannel should be ok as a base. As long as you feel like your needle glides through smoothly it should work.

    I have watched a few of your videos and really enjoyed them. Your voice is so soothing and you speak clearly so I can understand everything you say. This video was particularly helpful. I used to embroidery and silk stitch so I'm not totally new to it. I have started to slow stitch and really like it. Just subscribed.

    I have never tried slow stitching but often admire beautiful work on Facebook. Your work is so exquisite! Such harmonious colors. Your videos are such a pleasure to watch. No annoying music. And you have a very soothing voice. You have everything to convince me to try it. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and secrets with us ♥️

    Very nice. I'll have a go. How do you collect/gather all the fabrics ? Any tips ? Thank you.

    • @peaceofpi-studio
      @peaceofpi-studio  Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks! You can get going with only a few bits and pieces of fabric. Recycled clothing & bedding is a good source. From a fabric store a small bit of fabric like a fat quarter can be used in multiple projects - getting 4 or 5 different fat quarters would be good.

    Quick questions about the craft store felt… is it the stuff on the bolt at the craft store? In the fabric sections where you get other fabric? Or is this like the stuff that tends to be with the kid/craft/foam kinda supplies on the more crafty side? I’ve looked at the stuff on the bolt and the stuff in the sheets and wondered how they compared.
    My local quilt shop was always kind of rude to me… but they closed. So I don’t have an easy quilt shop to go touch felt at other than what I’ve come across at Joann’s. Any good online sources you enjoy?

    • @peaceofpi-studio
      @peaceofpi-studio  Před 3 měsíci

      I live in Canada so depending on where you live the sources will be different. My local craft store doesn’t have the felt on the bolt. I think my local quilt/fabric shop is unique in what it offers. Online I would look for Oeko-Tex felt either rayon/viscose felt (soft, made from wood pulp) or wool blend felt (wool/rayon).😊

    Question: If you purchase material to use for stitching, do you wash it and have any tips about that?
    I bought some cotton fat quarters to get started and did research and found out there are potentially chemicals on them so I washed them.
    They ended up in a tangled mess, joined together with threads. I was able to untangle but if you or anyone has tips for better laundering of material I'd appreciate it.

    • @peaceofpi-studio
      @peaceofpi-studio  Před 3 měsíci

      I’ve had the same experience! I wash most of my cotton. Placing fat quarters in a garment bag (the mesh kind) didn’t help much. If you have the option of gentle cycle that helps somewhat but there are always some threads to untangle it seems!

    • @SSandtheRVCats
      @SSandtheRVCats Před 3 měsíci

      @@peaceofpi-studio thank you! I guess it's just something we'll have to deal with. I do have the mesh bags (for laundering family cloths) so maybe putting a few pieces in each would help.

    Love your videos but l must say chenille needles and tapestry aren't the same. The sizing is the same but a tapestry needles has a blunt end where the chenille has a sharp point. Tapestry needles are used for tapestry, long stitch and cross stitch as the fabric used doesn't need to be pierced with a sharp needle.
